Doppelköpfiger Ouroboros-Ring / Antike Freimaurer-Bauleute - Ring

Double-Headed Ouroboros Ring/ Ancient Masonic Builders

**References in my other Listing with Illustrations of Masonry - book not included**

I would like to share with you one of my private collections, the Ancient Builders Ring.

Its design lends itself to being displayed as a ring.

Where might we find a reference to the ouroboros in Masonic life?
The legend of the Master Builder signifies the commencement of a Brother’s life as a Master Mason and echoes the theme of the ouroboros, symbolising the transition from the old to the new and the symbolic existence of a new Master Mason. Considering the universality that our lodge room embodies, we perceive the planetary revolutions of the sun and moon as observed from Earth. We witness the perpetual and cyclical nature of day and night. Consequently, the ouroboros encircles the lodge room and the Earth in a circular plane situated between east and west. Where within the lodge room do these individual events, which involve the candidate, transpire? Between east and west. Is this merely a coincidence?
